It was recently revealed that a Catholic school in Ontario secretly “transitioned” an 11-year-old girl in 2022 – treating her as a boy – without her parents’ knowledge or consent. School staff at the York Catholic District School Board in the greater Toronto area encouraged this girl, who had been influenced by pro-LGBT videos on Tik Tok, to adopt make-believe “they/them” pronouns, to take on a boy’s name, to wear painful “breast-binders”, and to consider artificial hormone therapy.

When the mother inadvertently found out about her daughter’s “transitioning” months later, instead of apologizing, the school reported her to the Children’s Aid Society, with the implicit threat that she might lose her child over her objections.

If it were not for her daughter choosing to “detransition” and accept her God-given body a year later, we would have never found out about this appalling story. This begs the question: How many other young girls and boys are being treated as guinea pigs in a secret transgender experiment in Ontario schools? How many parents are being kept in the dark?

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (no. 2393) teaches: “By creating the human being man and woman, God gives personal dignity equally to the one and the other. Each of them, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity.” As Jesus taught, “God made them male and female.” (Mark 10:6). In other words, we all need to accept who we are, in the bodies that God gave us – men and women, boys and girls. Transgenderism is a lie. But one Ontario Catholic school decided to break with Catholic teaching, break with the Word of God, break with reason, break faith with parents, and follow the fad of transgender ideology.

In the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick, courageous politicians have stood up to protect children and defend parents’ rights by requiring teachers and staff to obtain parental consent before underage children can transition at school. The Saskatchewan policy states: “a parent or guardian of a pupil has the right to… if the pupil is under 16 years of age, provide consent before the pupil’s teachers and other employees of the school use the pupil’s new gender-related preferred name or gender identity at school.”

At minimum, we want to see this same type of parental consent legislation enacted immediately in Ontario. Therefore, we are asking concerned citizens and parents all across Ontario to send an Action Alert Email to their local MPP and to Premier Doug Ford, by filling out the form on this page. If you live outside Ontario, you can email Premier Ford here: Premier@ontario.ca
